[@Throga]

Sorry guys - our "bonus" song at the end with Regine and Jaya got hit with a copyright and blocked the video, so it is trimmed a little :(

[@rommelrogero4419]

It's okay; I was able to watch it though!

[@2Chua]

I miss the chat replays but you guys always do the best you can, we know that!

[@pappagi]

❤

[@eloidasamaniego3025]

Pls do Lani Misalucha, Martin Nievera on your next friday reaction

[@aubreybalasta8166]

Oh! I’m late! 😩

[@lowkeyfanboy0612]

Mori,Jona and Katrina are all powerhouses. We call them the "Vocal Trinity" here in the Philippines.

[@joshynudalo2789]

Sooo true, VOCAL TRINITY! I hope Rich and John can discover more of their very impressive performances. So, keep on recommending guys.🥰👍

[@foreighteen7797]

They're a 'new' trinity. The real Vocal Trinity is Regine, Lani, and Jaya.

[@user-ep8wy7vu6f]

Jona is so good,she’s underrated..I think she’s one of the best singer in the Philippines ..

[@apborge]

During an interview with Patti Austin, they were talking about the best singers in the world. At the point where they were talking about black women being best singers she said, No - Filipinos are the best singers in the world. It’s in KZbin.

[@OrientalMonkeyBusiness]

Ms Austin said that the Philippines has the most musically educated people in the world. Haha!

[@user-tv7zw3mm1p]

You two complete each other and Cesar must be trusted but ...you know?

[@foreighteen7797]

Debatable at best. OPM is heavily based on modern Western music, which in turn is rooted in Black American music (blues, Black gospel, jazz). Hip-hop also originated in Black America. Nobody sings the American classics (and most Western hits) as tastefully and soulfully as Black American singers.

[@anythingniceandfun2022]

Nevermind what they said... And maybe.She said that coz they are not on Hollywood or Really out there...on Top of song billboards ...so she has a point... So that's oky😊 they're Popular here in the Philippines though ❤❤❤

[@partyeslife8157]

but you know it's all about the culture and generations and whether the 'origins' keep practicing to keep their art alive. gotta admit that somehow the level of singing in america is in the decline. not in the music industry but just in the population in general. people dont sing as much as they did a couple decades ago. even what rap has evolved into or what i should say 'devolve'. but in the philippines, they sing anywhere, everywhere. they have karaokes at home, and it's just part of their hobbes they do sober, or while they're drinking at parties. and from the young up to the seniors all participating together with the family. Now quantify that, there's a karaoke in every family. i dont know the numbers, but if there's a really good singer for every 50 familes, and then you figure out how many families there are...... Sure you could say are copying, but then by using stats, you could still determine how many good singers there are that don't copy. I found out about the filipinos singers during the lockdowns. and it's crazy.... so "best singers in the world" it's debatable sure, subjective sure, but using statistics here just pretty much opened my eyes on how crazy it is over there.. it's mind blown

[@user-ep8wy7vu6f]

Omg my first time to see that Jona ridiculous ❤that was fantastic ,I just don’t know my heart is full and it have this feeling that it will burst ,,I just don’t know I can’t explain..I want to cry 😢

[@athenacinca8657]

Jona is so underrated. She is another great Filipina singing diva. Also, honorable mention would be Klarisse De Guzman!!

[@michelleedrada9751]

You should watch jona Viray singing opera song, she's fantastic

[@leonardoparagas2079]

Thank you guys for always featured our Filipino singers. We love you so much guys. God Bless!

[@dantimario5271]

FYI Jaya is the “Queen of Soul” in the Philippines

[@joshynudalo2789]

Thank you sooo much dear Johnny and Richard for listening, reacting, and watching Jona and her way of singing, that's why she's labeled as the "FEARLESS DIVA". She takes risks in every song yet it gives a very soulful, tasteful, that it can't help but make someone listening to cry, be emotional and just feel proud.😍❤️🥹👏

[@betchangmartinez1895]

I feel Johnny's reactions during somewhere over the rainbow is the closest thing will ever get for a tear jerker reaction from him. I love it lol and I love that Jona made Richard shed tears. Ahhhh best reaction😊

[@Dheng3853]

This concert of Lani, Jona and Darren is phenomenal. This is the same concert people are requesting for Phantom of the Opera for Opera last time. Need to check Lani Misalucha as well.

[@elles.7331]

Before Mori and Katrina there's JONA

[@lazir07]

Yes! Jona ❤

[@enzotv9870]

right

[@korkietecsonramos4358]

Jona is INCOMPARABLE. second to none

[@user-cs9tx9lm8m]

Jona is an international champion in singing. She was once a Philippine representative in a world singing contest

[@Josh-pk5wh]

More Jona videos pls

[@garylontok8883]

Jaya is the daughter of Elizabeth Ramsey, a great Filipina entertainer who sang with Johnny Davis Jr in Las Vegas back in the 70s

[@cristinasison4177]

"Johnny" or "Sammy" Davis, Jr ?

[@rogerpadernal2373]

JAYA IS A SOUL DIVA... KZ IS A SOUL SUPREME...

[@carvinvillamor461]

San yan galing? Hahaha aliw yung mga title amp 😂 patawa

[@wilfredoaying930]

Morissette was put on a spot 🇨🇦interviewer ask? Who would you like for a ( Vocal Trinity ) . She literally said… Ate Jona and Katrina 💯

[@rlim6132]

Broadway medley by Regine Velasquez and Martin Nievera, please. Thanks.

[@JomarRebucasOfficial]

I agree with this.

[@ernestotusoyiii8848]

@@JomarRebucasOfficial agree too

[@buchi777_]

Try reacting to Lani Misalucha Bukas na lang kita mamahalin on the wish bus. Lani is also one of the best alongside Jaya and Regine. Thanks so much

[@kitchied]

remembering how the three of them used to sing together every weekend!

[@foreighteen7797]

Her performance with the Manila Philharmonic Orchestra is a better choice.

[@leahlegaspi5644]

More on Jona PLEASE. Thqnk you so much and God bless tou bith and your family.

[@lazir07]

Indeed more of Jona

[@lgrata2651]

Jona is actually a world champion when she bagged gold in wcopa in different genres. JONA and Morisette usually have great chemistry when singing together. Hopefully you could listen to theri performance of Problem and emotions during birit queens concert also in araneta. Jona is very technical Love her!!!

[@rommelrogero4419]

Mori and Regine had an amazing run of Mariah Carey's songs in the ASAP show.

[@annaaquino4705]

For Katrina, Burn is a must watch and the duet with Sam Mangubat ( I Turn To You). For Sb19, their Wish Bus version of Bazinga is a also a must watch, and their duet with Regine. Gigi's Saving All My Love For You is so good.

[@richardmedalla5958]

Jona's voice has clarity and emotion❤

[@annaaquino4705]

For Elaine- Someday and Because You Loved Me.

[@alamadrogada]

More of Jona please. Here in the Philippines, she is so underrated. 1. Jona 2. Lani Misalucha (Bukas na lang kita mamahalin at wishbus) 3. Lea Salonga duet with Rachelle Ann Go ( music in my mind) 4. Regine V. With Morisette A. (Mariah Carey tribute) 5. Katrina with Eumee Thank you and enjoy your Fridays 😊

[@martingala1014]

I surrender by katrina velarde

[@pjjones6996]

Love Jona!

[@AysheyRodriguez]

Oh my jona is powerful version somewhere over the rainbow 🌈 its so so sos amazing

[@anon2659]

Also do check her partner Klarisse de Guzman. She is another belter similar to Jona’s style and range. Better yet, she has a duet together called , Tell Him.

[@abrilmargarita8332]

Jona was one of the members of the Filipino Pop Group - LA DIVA.. check out the other two members..😊

[@erwinyacap9464]

Rachel Ann Go with Lea Salonga The movie in my mind…its amazing collaboration

[@Preppy_boba22]

I love jona

[@sam_gee]

JONAAAAA😍😍😍

[@badabing99]

Praise her.

[@paulmichaelmarcelo2343]

Jona is so amazing

[@gingerm1974]

If you do Lani Misalucha she did 1 Wishbus live and just about 3 mos. ago did a performance with FASO Filipinon American Symphony Orchestra also in YT. She used to have a show in Las Vegas with Filipino based band and frequent by some known artists. Regine Jaya and Lani are contemporaries and personal friends. They have duets but am not sure if it is in good quality. Regine sang her version of Someday Somewhere an OPM, original pilipino music, a must watch ( which Stell of SB19 performed recently in a concert in honor of the composer). She also performed Barbra Streisand Papa,can you hear me? from the movie YENTL. If you decide to feature her again.

[@OrientalMonkeyBusiness]

Lani Misalucha-singers’ singer. Lani on Wish. Definitely. Lani=technique.

[@evelinaragojo9574]

Thank you for this rv. You wanted to hear Darren Espanto's adult/mature singing voice...he was with Jona and Lani Misalucha during that concert where Jona was singing 'Somewhere Over the Rainbow' and belting in such an awesome manner. Darren sang 'Phantom of the Opera' in that concert...hope you'll make an rv of it. The other great singer, Lani Misalucha, would be so nice to have on your Friday list, too. She sang in Las Vegas for many years before settling in the Philippines for good.

[@SejunPabs8522]

I loved ❤ you have this Filipino Friday featured the great artist and artist of Philippines ❤❤❤. Listening 🎶 to all these great singers is like a roller coaster feeling! 🎢 ❤ I'm having the good time!

[@marleenignacio6192]

Thanks Richard & Johny! You two are awesome❤

[@bryandelossantos8120]

Thank you for appreciating Pinoy Artists specially our queen Jona :) more of her please!

[@WineSippingCowboy]

REO Brothers have many hits in The Philippines 🇵🇭. Jonalynn Viray sings opera and other styles. The late Elizabeth Ramsey met The Beatles in The Philippines 🇵🇭. Ramsey gave birth 👶 to Jaya in 1970. That was the same year that her friend Regine Velazquez, Debbie Gibson and fellow New York state friend Mariah Carey was born. I remember Jaya Ramsey back in the 1980s. She opened for Stevie B in world tours. Suggested videos 📹: 1 Jona Viray and Morissette Amon sing Problem and Emotions. 2 Jaya Ramsey and Stevie B sing If You Leave Me Now 3 REO Brothers sing Ventura Highway 🛣

[@joanneceralde1040]

There is a trio of Jaya, Regine, and Lani Misalucha

[@joanneceralde1040]

@loypineda5331 Thank you.

[@Ricky-xp5qk]

I so forgot about Jona and Jaya. Love them. Just to note.... No one can beat these 2 girl group Super Female Vocalist : ASAP DIVAS and BIRIT QUEENS of the Philippines. Best Female duets assembled all time.

The TNT boys impersonating The Bee Gees is the best and is so hilarious. That you must see and react.

[@joelramirez8388]

Thank you for reacting to my favourite video in KZbin, Jaya and KZ singing “Feeling good”. Every time I watch this video, it really makes me feeling good. This is the video I go back to during the pandemic to perk me up.

[@blujaygener]

I'm over the moon now that you have found out about Jona (johnuh). I just started watching and I am hoping one of the songs you got for tonight was her take on Queen of the Night. If not included, please please please include it next time. Thank you so much Richard and Johnny! ❤

[@brankitties]

Love that u called Jona Viray tasty 😆

[@mariajanebaranda1606]

REO Brothers back story: They were starting a few years as a cover band in Tacloban City when Super Typhoon Haiyan or Yolanda struck. All they have saved I think were their guitars. They went to Metro Manila to relocate a few days after the typhoon. While there, a group formed a fundraising event for Typhoon Yolanda victims. The Reo Brothers - typhoon survivors & victims themselves joined that fund- raising event. That's how they got known nationally ( because the event was live-streamed) and eventually globally.

[@eduardobautista6084]

You can also react on Jona’s version of QUEEN OF THE NIGHT ARIA, Jona is one of the ACES singers in the Philippines. She can do pop, ballad, opera, broadway etc. she’s so versatile. Better to react on her videos. Thank you so much in advance 😊

[@user-bw4vg4jm7w]

They were truly brothers with great voice.

[@jingleslay6370]

Katrina Velarde’s version of “Somewhere Over the Rainbow” is so good as well, I don't want to say it was much better they're both good. If you want to hear her voice acrobats. Then listen to this version of kat

[@dansison8849]

[@rommelrogero4419]

Another great addition, to the likes of Regine and Jaya is Lani Misalucha. Bukas Na Lang Kita Mamahalin (Will Love You Tomorrow- loose translation) via the Wishbus would be an introduction.

[@danieljavier5711]

Jonah rated #3 in the Philippines 🇵🇭?

Next Filipino Fridays suggestion: 1. Charice Pempengco Note To God (on Oprah) 2. Katrina Velarde Momma Knows Best I Surrender ( with Jessica Villarubin) Burn (Impersonations) 3. Lea Salonga The Movie in My Mind (with Rachelle Ann Go)

[@lori4021]

Please feature Lani Misalucha. She's amazing.

[@rommelrogero4419]

4th Impact (formerly 4th Power)would be another addition in your long list of Filipino singers. They are made up of 4 siblings. Try their Britain's Got Talent audition of the song: Bang Bang (cover) 2015.

[@rommelrogero4419]

Marcelito Pomoy's cover of Time To Say Goodbye in the Americas Got Talent Champions Edition is a banger.

[@rommelrogero4419]

Next time, if would be circling back to Reo Brothers, try their cover of Sultans of Swing. They also have other medleys of Beatles Songs.

[@rommelrogero4419]

Another addition, in the likes of Gary V, Regine, Jaya, and Lani would also be Martin Nievera. He has a couple of Wishbus performances too.

[@justcallmeAnton01]

Hello Richard and Johnny! I started watching you a few weeks ago and I was delighted to see a professional vocal coach and a perfect pitch musician together reacting to videos of singers here in the Philippines. It's a pity I can't catch the live shows every Friday because I'm busy, but whenever I get home from work, I make sure to watch your videos before I go to sleep. I hope your channel grows, especially since I'm learning a lot from you, and that you continue to provide high-quality reaction videos like these.

[@JP-dr3dv]

JONA! We love her! One of the best voices in ASIA!

[@500Akoni]

maybe you should listen to the TNT Boys version of the bee gees on a local show called Your Face Sounds Familliar( Barry Gibb communicated with them, praising!) to entertain you.... there is a duet by Regine and Mori of Mariah's medley. then there is of Lea and Rachel Ann Go ( plays Kim in Miss Saigon in London and Hamilton in Broadway)... Thought this might help. Thanks. Glad you love them all esp Jaya and KZ. I vote for Filipino boys nailing english songs...Amazing kids!

[@RenceGonzalgo-rw2mt]

there is always a collab in every iconic artist here. GIGI and Darren sings Akin kanalng Gigi and morisette sings medley of toni braxton.. i forgot what they sing but jaya ang regine always have collaboration..becoz they are all good friends. jaya already base niw in US..

[@TheStr8AndNarrow]

I want to thank you for all the hard work you do and the time you invest in these videos. I do volunteer work every Friday, so I sadly miss joining you live. As rewarding as my volunteer work is, what I look forward to the most at the end of my day is watching your video. It's my favorite Friday night treat!
